Chapter 1570: Female Thief

"Do you need us to leave a spatial tunnel for you?" Kou Chongxue asked Shang Xia with a smile.

They were traveling to the Spirit Thistle World to meet up with the True Immortals of the 3 Worlds Alliance. There, they would rely on an anchor they left around the Spirit Abundance World to open a spatial tunnel over.

Shang Xia waved his hand and smiled, "No need! I've recently gained some insights into my Five Element Movement Technique, and this is a good opportunity to test it."

Kou Chongxue's expression became more serious as he said, "Oh? Is that the technique you created? Heh... After that brat, Hai Yuanyuan, learned it, she caused a massive stir...”

Shang Xia was startled. "What? Did that girl cause more trouble?”

Kou Chongxue gave him a wry smile and sighed, "Well, she has a good uncle and no one dares to make things difficult for her even if she poked a hole in the heavens... Even if there are some crazy fools, that lass has god knows how many secret arts... As long as they’re not True Immortals, they will definitely suffer in her hands.

Even though Kou Chongxue sounded like he spoke casually, Shang Xia realized the seriousness of the matter. He knew that Hai Yuanyuan probably already provoked a True Immortal and might have done it more than once.

"What exactly did she do?" Shang Xia growled.

Kou Chongxue said with indifference, "Her movement techniques are indeed exquisite. She can not only bypass some sects' defensive formations to sneak into their territory, but she can also penetrate into some warehouses and treasure locations. She has already become the number 1 female thief in our Spirit Luxuriant World. In fact, her reputation has already spread to the rest of the Heaven Observation Field. The Spirit Thistle World, Spirit Tinkle World, Star Origin Dao Field, and even the Spirit Abundance World have already heard of her. In fact, many factions have already placed her on their blacklist.”

Despite being somewhat prepared, Shang Xia was still astounded by the great achievements of the little brat from Kou Chongxue's description.

"Hasn't she been caught by anyone and beaten to death for such outrageous behavior?" Shang Xia asked incredulously.

Even if her movement techniques were exquisite and she had life-saving treasures from Shang Xia, facing a True Immortal, she definitely needed rank six talismans to get away.

Kou Chongxue chuckled wryly, "This girl is bold yet measures her steps well. Although she frequently sneaks into various sects' forbidden areas and messes up their stuff, she has never actually stolen an item. She usually escapes before being discovered. Even if she runs into True Immortals, since she didn’t actually cause serious damage, they will probably let her go the moment she reveals her identity in order to show respect to you.”

"At first, there were a few who chose to take action, but later, as her reputation grew and she didn't do anything outrageous, they simply started to strengthen their protective formations. Instead of ignoring her, they even started using her to test their defensive capabilities." Kou Chongxue muttered.

Finally, Shang Xia realized that he had been neglecting his inheritor after traveling through the sea of stars in recent years.

He could hardly imagine that she actually made such a name for herself right under his nose.

He couldn’t help but snort with discontent, "I have been traveling outside for years, but no matter what, she’s a disciple of the institution. Why didn’t any elders stop her from running wild?”

Kou Chongxue snorted with a smile that didn’t seem like a smile, "Who can control her in the institution? Who can really manage her? That child is now the most promising candidate to ascend to the Martial Void Realm, a master of exquisite escape techniques, and has top-notch combat ability below True Immortals. Even our deputy patriarchs can’t catch her, and the True Immortals of the institution wouldn’t speak out against her out of respect for you. Anyway, she has always been careful and never caused serious trouble...”

"If we wait until she does cause trouble, it will be too late!" Shang Xia grunted before turning to accuse Kou Chongxue, "Others may not be able to control her, but can’t the patriarch say something?”

The strange smile on Kou Chongxue’s face transformed into a brilliant smile at that point. "We have a generational gap, you know. Since I’m the same as your grandfather, she should call me Great Granduncle. How can I be a scary senior and order my juniors around? I should simply dote on her, and leave the disciplining to her parents."

"Fuck! You’re not playing by the rules! You’re just messing around!” Shang Xia snapped.

With a shit-eating grin on his face, Kou Chongxue shared another piece of information. "This girl is following your path by refining all 5 elements at the same time. Don’t blame me for not warning you, but perhaps because of her many confrontations with the protection formations of those sects, her Five Element Movement Technique is starting to evolve towards breaking restrictions and even showing signs of turning into a martial intent. Do you not know how terrifying her skill is?”

Shang Xia stared at him in shock for a moment. “Is she going to take more risks and plan something?!”

Kou Chongxue shrugged. "She should be in the Spirit Abundance World now, but I don’t know what she plans to do exactly and where she is at the moment.”

Since the news that the Essence Ping World would soon emerge spread among the upper echelons of the worlds in the Heaven Observation Field, the Spirit Abundance World would definitely bustle with activity.

The moment the Essence World reveals itself, the Star Origin Lord would emerge and reorganize the Heaven Observation Field. The Spirit Abundance World would be the first to be affected.

As such, the Spirit Abundance World had been lifting their restrictions to accept cultivators from every world. Even the Spirit Luxuriant World, which had great enmity with them, was allowed entry in order to face the Essence Ping World.

After meeting up with the True Immortals from Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Tinkle World, Kou Chongxue and others relied on their battle formation to tear a spatial tunnel through the void to arrive in the vicinity of the Spirit Abundance World.

For them to cause such a massive disturbance, even Shang Xia who remained around the Spirit Thistle World could tell that they caught the attention of everyone there.

Of course, it was most likely that Kou Chongxue and Zuo Li planned to make such a big entrance.

Although Shang Xia also experienced long-range spatial transfers, that was when he used his Five Element Movement Technique to pass through shorter distances. The distance between the Spirit Thistle World and Spirit Abundance World wasn’t short and he had to pass through multiple layers of chaotic streams.

Once he successfully crossed the void with his Five Element Movement Technique, the level of technique would reach a new level.

...

As he unleashed his Five Element Movement Technique to travel from the Spirit Thistle World to the Spirit Abundance World, he didn’t cause a large disturbance. He didn’t even alert the patrolling Star Ships... He even took some time to determine his actual location, but he failed to see a single Star Ship that was guarding against the arrival of foreign cultivators.

"Hehe... If that brat thinks she can outdo the master of the Five Element Movement Technique, she has a long way to go!” Shang Xia chuckled softly. Actually, he didn’t know too much about her ambitions. However, he couldn’t help but feel strangely proud of himself.
